1962 Map of Myron

About this map

The Strawberry River and its major tributary, the Piney Fork Strawberry River, carve through the Ozark landscape of northern Arkansas in this early 1960s survey. The small settlement of Myron serves as a central point for the surrounding rural area, which is dotted with small family and community burial grounds such as Bates Cem, Godwin Cem, and Hills Chapel Cem. The map reveals a highly localized geography of place-names, where small waterways like Mc Junkins Branch and Hinson Branch drain the ridges between Davidson Hill and Baker Hill. This era captures the region before extensive modern development, showing the original network of unimproved dirt roads and light-duty paths that connected isolated homesteads and local landmarks across the Izard and Sharp County line.
